DESCRIPTION :
So, it is exactly as the name suggests, shoulder becomes “frozen” due to pain and stiffness. This condition, medically known as adhesive capsulitis, occurs in roughly 2% of the general population and usually in women between the ages of 40 and 60.
In someone with frozen shoulder, though, the capsule thickens and becomes tight. Stiff tissues called adhesions develop, and generally, there is less synovial fluid. All of this combines to prevent movement in your shoulder with or without help.
STAGES OF FROZEN SHOULDER :
With Frozen Shoulder, there are typically three stages:
1.Freezing Stage: Shoulder becomes increasingly painful, and you slowly lose range of motion. This usually occurs over 6 to 9 weeks.
2.Frozen Stage:
This stage immediately follows the freezing stage and is usually less painful though the stiffness remains. This usually lasts roughly 4 to 6 months making daily activities very difficult.
3.Thawing Stage:
This stage is where the shoulder slowly improves with either a complete return to normal or close to normal strength and motion. This usually takes anywhere from 6 months to 2 years to happen.
